Just above the door on the outside, there was an awning. Rouge had been sitting on it, and when she heard the door below her open, she spun upside down, hanging to the awning with her feet. Luckily enough for Knuckles, the awning was at such a height, that when Rouge hung upside down from it, his face was at the same level as her chest. "Hello there, Knuckie. I was wondering who that was coming outside."
